Team Tyne Innovation is preparing to take on the 3,000 mile Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge in 2018, the world’s toughest rowing race.

Showcasing North East innovation and supporting charities is at the heart of our bid. In completing this extraordinary challenge our ambition is to demonstrate the innovative spirit that is alive and kicking in the North East by incorporating innovative products and services developed by businesses and universities in the region. We are also looking to raise funds for a number of charities which are close to our heart. We need your support to enable these ambitions to become a reality.
